Access only the attributes using attrs

[hasibaakterss3309]

# Access 'a' tag in <header>
a_start = soup.header.a
a_start#


a_start.attrs
Result:

Out[16]:
{‘data-toggle’: ‘collapse-side’,
‘data-target’: ‘.side-collapse’,
‘data-target-2’: ‘.side-collapse-container’}

We can access a specific attribute. Note that finland telegram database Python treats an attribute as a dictionary, so data-toggle , data-target , and data-target-2 are the key . Here's an example of accessing ' data-target ':

a_start[‘data-target’]

Result:

a_start[‘data-target’]
Out[17]: ‘.side-collapse’

We can also add a new attribute. Keep in mind that the changes only affect the website locally, not the website globally.

a_start[‘new-attribute’] = ‘This is the new attribute’
a_start.attrs
a_start

Result:

a_start[‘new-attribute’] = ‘This is the new attribute’
a_start.attrs
a_start
Out[18]:
<a data-target=”.side-collapse” data-target-2=”.side-collapse-container” data-toggle=”collapse-side” new-attribute=”This is the new attribute”>
<button aria-controls=”navbar” aria-expanded=”false” class=”navbar-toggle pull-right collapsed” data-target=”#navbar” data-target-2=”.side-collapse-container” data-target-3=”.side-collapse” data-toggle=”collapse” type=”button”>
...
</a>
